The thing with Javascript is that it sucks so bad that there are what a dozen or so languages built on top of it that get transpiled to JS to run in a browser or on V8. It sucked so bad that nobody really wanted to use it, they'd rather build a compiler and write in something else and tranpile into JS. How can a language be "good" when there are so many attempts that take such effort just trying to avoid it. |

Half of the popular projects around JS are indeed created to workaround its deficiencies, or the JS DOM API limitations.
But working with JS, thanks to those efforts, is now much more agreeable. And the language itself has evolved in the right direction.
